College freshmen forced into political reeducation camps at Vassar College-

Incoming freshmen at Vassar College will be required to complete a series of diversity-themed workshops as part of their new-student orientation.

The Mark Romano.com In fact, an explicit goal of this year’s New Student Orientation is to help students begin “engaging and appreciating social justice,” noting that students will embark on “the journey towards self-awareness, community awareness, and appreciation of and support for a diversity of experiences, interests, beliefs, identities, and abilities.”

During the expansive 15-day orientation, which the school has confirmed is mandatory, students will attend three workshops in a “We are Vassar, I am Vassar, You are Vassar” series, which focus “on celebrating identities and affirming belongingness within our communities.”

The series will take a total of five hours to complete, and will begin with the “We are Vassar workshop,” which invites students to participate in “an introduction to inclusive language” where they will “explore what can impact our sense of identity and belonging within our community.”

During the next session, students will learn about people “of particular identities, beliefs, and expressions,” while the concluding session will reiterate the school’s commitment to “celebrating identities and affirming belongingness.”

Although Vassar declined to elaborate on the what students will learn during the workshops, the Freshman Handbook touts the school’s Bias Response Team and a robust Campus Life and Diversity Office as examples of Vassar’s dedication to social justice.
